I'd say by all means. I was also thinking of Cress but couldn't get the game started.

How about a two or three way team game? Puce v Chartreuse or Puce v Green v Chartreuse? I wouldn't advocate more than three teams - we don't really have enough players.

[pen] I was about to ask "How many of those do you think there'll be?" before scanning down see the game made and very well underway.
[SM] Sounds good - it seems like Crescent games aren't taking off at present and perhaps that would make it more interesting.

[nights] Did the Proposal Vetting Panel give you grief?

[rab] They did indeed. Damn bureaucracy. Seriously though, any reason why it didn't go through?

The Panel tends to get a bit shirty if it thinks you're starting a reheat of something old and tired. Placing old wine into new bottles sometimes helps.

I just received an email beginning "Do please diary this year's poster evening" and thought of, hmmm, almost everybody here.

(Not quite understanding...) Is it something to do with turning nouns into verbs? Or 'verbing' you might say.

who was it who said 'verbing weirds nouns'?

Are you willing to let me know who sent the email? I'd so love to reply :-)
[pen] It was Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes)

[pen, Phil] Indeed, "verbing weirds language" - but a six-year-old or anyone else being silly should be allowed to. Serious usage of something like diary as a verb is definitely something we'll all get flighty about. We should be touched rab thought of us though.

(rab) Bin it.

[Rosie] We were waiting for you. Well said.
Meanwhile, what shall we do with that spare game slot?
